Su Xiangnan indeed stopped in his tracks.
"There's a woman who'll be coming to see Su Dahai in the next few days and will give him some money..." She wants to kill Gu Xue.
In her past life, that woman drove up in a black sedan, and the two had a private conversation in the room. She secretly glanced at them a few times.
The woman gave him a box full of money and made a throat-slitting gesture.
As soon as the woman left, Su Dahai told her to lure Jiang Xue to a remote mountain valley and, ideally, kill her.
Meng Shuyun's face turned bright red, and she couldn't utter the rest of her words, as if an invisible force had blocked her mouth.
Su Xiangnan looked at Meng Shuyun coldly, his face indifferent, as if watching her perform.
Seeing that Su Xiangnan didn't believe her, Meng Shuyun became a little anxious. She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down: "Gu Xue's family is from Beijing, did you know that?" She changed her approach and was able to get him to talk.
"What do you mean?" Su Xiangnan keenly sensed something was wrong and pressed, "What else do you want to say?"
"That woman is from Beijing. What ability could Su Dahai possibly have to know people in Beijing?"
"Why should they give him such a large sum of money?" Meng Shuyun finished speaking and gave Su Xiangnan a deep look. "I rented a small building in the county town, and it's being renovated. You and Gu Xue can come over and help me supervise the construction..."
The more Su Xiangnan listened, the uglier his expression became.
He knew he shouldn't believe Meng Shuyun's words, but he didn't dare not believe them, what if they were true?
He wouldn't dare take that risk, not even the slightest bit.
When Meng Shuyun saw Su Xiangnan turn around, she nodded: "I don't believe what you're saying. I have eyes of my own, and I'll see for myself."
How dare you ask me to supervise the construction? Aren't you afraid I'll burn your house down again?
Meng Shuyun was taken aback. She looked at Su Xiangnan and replied, "Don't burn the house down. It's not worth much. When I make money, I'll give you the money to burn for fun."
Su Xiangnan: "..."
...
Inside the clinic, the lights were dim and yellow, and a pungent smell of medicine filled the air.
Su Dahai lay stiffly on the hospital bed, his face ashen and lifeless.
One leg was in a thick cast and suspended high in the air.
Meanwhile, Qin Hongying, lying on the bed next to her, was screaming in pain. Her sharp and piercing cries echoed in the small ward.
Her face was wrapped in layers of gauze, and her eyes were swollen and narrowed into slits, making her look like a strange mummy.
"Su Dahai, my face is ruined, all because of you!" Qin Hongying yelled, cursing loudly, "Why did you provoke that crazy woman Jiang Xue?"
Why not just give her the job?
It's just two thousand yuan.
Why couldn't you give it to her? Now look what's happened, you've ruined my face!
You and Qin Daya are both scoundrels, locking me out and not letting me into the room. You'll see!
Once I recover, you'll all be in for a world of hurt...
A nurse passing by the ward couldn't help but mutter, "The patient in bed 2 has been cursing for two or three hours now, and he still hasn't stopped. He doesn't seem to be seriously injured; he still has the energy to curse."
“That’s right. The person next door who injured their leg didn’t utter a sound. There’s no harm without comparison,” another nurse chimed in.
Su Dahai felt his head buzzing. He covered his ears, his eyes were bloodshot, his jaw was clenched tightly, and his face was full of pain.
Qin Hongying kept nagging, repeating the same few sentences over and over. From the initial anger, he had now become completely numb to it, and his ears were practically calloused from hearing it so much.
He couldn't help but recall how Meng Shuyun had taken such good care of him when he had a headache or fever.
If you tell her to go east, she would never dare to go west; she is completely submissive to her circumstances.
When I get home, there are hot meals, hot bath water, and someone to massage my shoulders and back in the evening.
As long as you give the order, there's nothing they can't do or won't do.
Su Dahai felt increasingly remorseful, as if a million ants were gnawing at his heart.
If I hadn't divorced Meng Shuyun in a fit of anger, and had instead let her ask her second brother for compensation, none of this trouble would have happened.
He turned to look at Qin Hongying and saw her face, which was swollen like a pig's head. It was both terrifying and disgusting, and he felt a wave of nausea.
Then think of Meng Shuyun. Although she has wrinkles on her face, she still has some good looks. She has a round face and big eyes. She is better than this shrew in front of her no matter how you look at her.
Compared to this, he became even more determined to win Meng Shuyun back.
Qin Hongying noticed Su Dahai's disdainful look and froze for a moment, her swearing also stopping abruptly.
But this brief silence was like the calm before the storm.
Suddenly, she was like a powder keg that had been lit, screaming as she lunged at Su Dahai: "Su Dahai, what kind of look was that just now?"
How dare you look down on your mother!
My disfigurement is all your fault!
"If you dare to look down on me, I'll fight you to the death!"
With limited mobility, Su Dahai stared wide-eyed in horror as Qin Hongying lunged at him, powerless to fight back. On the cramped hospital bed, he was like a lamb to the slaughter.
"Nurse! Nurse! Murder! Help!"
He screamed desperately, his voice filled with despair.
Qin Hongying ignored him completely and began to beat his wounds mercilessly.
"You old hag, how dare you look down on me? If I'm not having a good time, you won't have one either!"
As she cursed, she fiercely pounded Su Dahai's legs, knocking over the glass vase on the bedside table with a crisp sound.
Just then, a wicked glint flashed in Qin Hongying's eyes. She quickly picked up a piece of broken glass and slashed it at Su Dahai's face.
